FRIDAY, JAN. 23. 1921. $2.00 A YEAR IN ADVANCE DURHAM HONORED Man Who Paid Great Tribute To Lee Born In Sight of “Square.” Shelby and Cleveland county peo ple took more than usual interest of a southern people in the unveiling ex ercises of the head of the south’s im mortal leader on Stone Mountain in Georgia Saturday for to a former Shelby boy fell the honor of delivering the principal oration. Dr. Plato Dur ham, whose vivid speech that day will linger in the mind of the southland as the realization of' its memorial dream was born and reared within sight of the Shelby court square and only a stone’s throw across the street from where in their youth lived the three Dixon boys: Tom, Clarence and Frank. ur. iiurnam, of the Emory univer sity faculty, who is a brother of Stonewall Durham, brilliant Gaston county attorney and of Dr. Bob Dur ham .president of a college for wo men at Bristol, was a son of Plato Durham, one of North Carolina's noble leaders in the trying re-con struction period. The two-story wood en building in which the Durham boys Were born stil stands in the heart of Shelby’s business section and is now used as a rooming house, while the rambling green house across the street where lived their three play mates, the Dixon boys, stands desert ed and untenanted. Fame first came to the three Durham boys because of theif athletic prowess while at Trin ity college, the trio being stars on the famous football team of that institu tion in ’9-1. Great Memorial Oration. The opening paragraph of Dr. Dur ham’s speech, which* was caried in full by the Atlanta Journal and the lead-, ing papers of the country on Sunday, reveals the ability of the orator chos en as the principal speaker in the greatest tribute ever paid to Lee of Virginia: “Allow me to confess first of all to the consciousness of a certain sort of audacity in the attempt to speeak the words that will give even measurably the deeper meaning of so high a mo ment. Brave are the finger that wo\jld aspire to twist a wreath for the brow of him upon whom long ago rested the green laurel of history’s imortality. I confess also to certain fears that are in my heart. There is the fear that the .emotions that fill our souls today will overbear the sense of calm assessment of values and spend them selves in meaningless and fulsome superlatives. There is also the fear that some word may be spoken that would bring sorrow to the heart of America, our mighty mother, and cause to bleed afresh those tragic wounds which we would not reopen but heal with tears of our devotion.” oun» mi itnu uianu While farther down the speaker portrays the United States of today in the fight, side by side, of the sons of Lee and Grant in the World war: "—On the 29th of September, 1918, two American divisions faced the Hindenburg line. Who were they ? Pershing, in a great moment, had se lected for that world rockintr and final blow the 27th, the sons of Grant and the 30th. the sons of Lee. History was pale with fear as the grey dawn of that zero hour approached. A sound fills the world—it is the super human swords of Grant and Lee drawn from their scabards, while across that field of death wait the swords of Bismarck and Von Moltke. In the east a light—a gun—the world lifts and staggers! America has struck. The archangel of war is flying in the midst of Heaven. Liberty has loosed the lightnings of her consum ing wrath. When that dav’s sun was set in the blasted ruins of that world menacing line, had been set the standard of our flag first by the sons of Carolina and Lee.” JUDGE WEBB HAS FEELING FOR FEDERAL COURT JURORS Raleigh News and Observer. Jurors have a hard time and get small compensation. In closing Feder al court at Salisbury Judge Yate« Webb said he hoped the day was not far distant when Federal court jurors would be paid $6 or $7 a day. “so that they could stop at the best ho tels, get their shoes shined and buy » newspaper and a few cigars out of the compensuion allowed them by the government.” « Miss Kate Page the charming daugh ter of Ex-Congressman Page of Southern Pines is spending this week with her friend Miss Elizabeth Webb.
